A girl was approached by a man driving a van in Rooty Hill on Tuesday of last week.

The girl, 15, said she was walking along Hartington Street about 7.15am when the van stopped next to her and the driver leaned out of the window and spoke to her.

The girl ran away and reported what had happened to teachers at her school on Wednesday.

They contacted police, who say they want to speak to a man described as being of South American appearance, 30 to 40 years of age and wearing work pants and a high-visibility work shirt.

Police urged anyone who had any information about this to contact Mount Druitt detectives on 9675 0699.

Police also urged parents to advise their children not to speak to people they did not know and to always inform their parents or teachers if such an incident occurred.

If approached, children should seek safety at a school, shop or service station and call their parents or police.
